Olivia Rodrigo Gives Glastonbury a Dazzling Finale: 5 Best Moments

Olivia Rodrigo closed Glastonbury with a set full of fireworks and a guest appearance from The Cure's Robert Smith. Check out five highlights.

Weary punters who’ve been here since Wednesday (June 25) took a back seat as a fresh wave of attendees entered the festival grounds on Sunday, with free tickets distributed to local residents by way of thanks for the disruption to the area. Rodrigo managed it with gusto during a hits-laden set which included references to her love of the U.K., why Glastonbury is her favorite festival (she was spotted dancing in the crowd at Pulp on Saturday afternoon), and brought out The Cure’s frontman Robert Smith for a brilliant duet on two of the goth rocker’s classics. Rodrigo introduced him as “a personal hero” and “perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England” before the unlikely the pair duetted on the Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love” and “Just Like Heaven.” A few unbothered faces from younger audience members on the barrier did little to dampen this moment of additional star-power, and the packed crowd swooned and swayed to some classics.
